The COVID-19 pandemic has kept Americans at home, and the Netflix documentary "Tiger King" has become a national topic. Many people are discussing who is more suitable to play the leading actor Joe Exotic in a drama movie or TV series. Recently, the answer was revealed: Nicolas Cage! This will be the first time for the former Oscar winner to appear in a TV series.

According to foreign media reports, Dan Lagana, the producer of American Madness, will serve as the screenwriter and producer of this series, which will be jointly produced by CBS Television and Imagine Entertainment, and Nicolas Cage will also serve as the producer.
